I think all this means is that teams that go far into the playoffs aren't necessarily the teams that play the best football from week to week in the NFL. Also gives more meaning to the term "any given sunday." Many thought New England was the best team in the NFL this season, and they got dispatched in their first playoff game. It is easy to read into this too much and think that it might point to a sign that we aren't that far behind the truly elite teams in the NFL, but in reality all it means is that on one particular Sunday, we were better than a team that made it deep into the playoffs. The teams that reach the CC games and the SB are the teams that peak at the right time, which is during the playoffs.
